Details

_do sends an OLE-supplied method and its parameters to the automation server for execution by the server application. The number of parameters (in-parm arguments) needed varies among different OLE objects and methods. Only OLE-supplied methods that have no return value should be used with the _do method. For OLE-supplied methods with return values, use the _compute method.

Example

The following statement invokes the 'Quit' method of the automation application:

    call send(oleobj, '_do', 'Quit');
